Description

Indian Why Stories

The Native American was a true lover of nature and closer observer of the sights and sounds about him. He delighted in composing tales that offered imaginative explanations for everything — from simple stories about creation to fanciful accounts of how animals acquired certain physical characteristics.

This entertaining collection of 22 stories, compiled nearly a century ago by a devotee of Indian lore who considered them “well-worth saving,” recounts many of the legends told to him by members of the Blackfeet, Chippewa and Cree tribes.
